Home Video Offers Independent's Access

World Artists Home Video announced they will release four independent filmson video this fall. “The Closest Thing To Heaven“, written and directed byDorne Pentes and writer-director Larry Fessenden’s “No Telling” will beavailable September 26. From Mexico, director Arturo Ripstein’s “PlaceWithout Limits“, and experimental director Nina Menke’s “The Bloody Child” areslated for November 14.

Unlike Hollywood which has become dependent on home-video to recover costs ofexpensive films, independent filmmakers see home-video has an opportunityto reach an audience. Between summer blockbusters there is little room fornon-mainstream features. All four films to be released by World Artistsreceived critical praise; only “Bloody Child” found small theatrical release.
